Man my toddler is getting so hard to get to bed. So many stalling tactics! I’m thirsty, I’m cold, my…

Mine just told me she can’t sleep with all that noise... 👀 there is no noise 🤨

@sparklingjewels, the things they come up with haha

@sparklingjewels, Haha every little noise my 3 year olds like what that mommy?!?

Mine will says she has to go to the bathroom and you see her sitting there desperately trying to squeak out a fart🙄

@monavidaa, forgot to feed dinner 😂😂

@beakymcspence, omg olivia does that always 😂

@jennyrae17, seriously Memphis will be red in the face at 5 years old trying to at least squeak out a fart..trying to delay going to bed lol

@monavidaa, all I hear all day from Olivia is “I’m hungryyy momma” I feel like her waitress and maid most of the time lol

Mine was doing this too but I started a sticker chart for her. Every night she stays in bed the whole night she gets a sticker the next day. 10 sleeps leads to a trip to the dollar tree and she gets to choose whatever item she wants. It has worked well!

@phoebesmommy, I am totally trying this!

I could have wrote this. My son just came out again saying so after 7 months it’s going to be 2019 mommy? My face 😒 lol Boy go to sleep!

@dontspankme, 😂🙄

@jennyrae17, I hope it goes well. I think it’s really important for them to not be able to manipulate. W my DD it escalated to her screaming her lungs out if I didn’t lay in bed w her til she fell asleep. It was a rough couple nights but that positive reinforcement plus a new nightlight she got to pick out changed everything

@phoebesmommy, yes I have been trying the taking things away from her if she doesn’t go to bed. But I would like to make bed time positive not negative.

@jennyrae17, we went down that route too but it didn’t help. She had some fears too out of the blue but I know it’s common when their imaginations begin to bloom.

@phoebesmommy, yes she has a lot of new fears. But I remember being young with a big imagination and being afraid too. So I don’t want to push aside her fears.

@jennyrae17, you can try to ask her the things she is afraid of and explain what they are. How old is yours?

@phoebesmommy, she’s 3, will be 4 in August

Ommmgg mine too! 10,000 questions, 4 bathroom trips, talking, singing, needs water, so many things lol.
